I might actually make money doing something other than spamming /c/mutual_aid and making everyone hate me (hexbear.net)

I picked up a bike someone left out with a “Free” sign taped to it and put it online. Finally after a couple weeks someone bit on it. I’m picking it up from my storage unit and meeting the person tonight. I could make $100. Lowest I’ll take is probably like $75 unless there’s a good reason for a lower offer (like the brakes being fucked off or something).

I wish I could make selling stuff online into more of a hustle but idk. I suppose I could try doing what my father used to make me do with him: go to yard sales on weekends and buy things that can be upsold.

Yay.

Acquiring items, fixing them up, and selling them was how I made money through highschool/after I graduated. I mostly focused on computers since I love tinkering with them. But I'd buy them broken/dirty, clean them, upgrade them, then when I'm bored of playing with it sell it.

If you can find the right niche you can make some good money off it. And as a wise man once said: "If it's free it's me."
